When it comes to Medicare regulations, there are rarely easy answers, but there are correct ones.

From the Two-Midnight Rule to Observation after surgery, from unsigned inpatient orders to social admissions and ABNs, hospital teams constantly face ambiguous regulatory scenarios that leave them second-guessing their decisions.

In this brand-new RACmonitor webcast, Dr. Ronald Hirsch, one of the most trusted experts on Medicare compliance, tackles the most confusing, commonly asked, and misunderstood Medicare regulations. He’ll provide practical, referenced guidance that compliance, utilization review, and case management professionals can apply immediately.

Sample questions Dr. Hirsch will address:

  • How do we bill cancelled surgeries?
  • How do we handle patients who die after inpatient admission but before leaving the ED?
  • What if the inpatient order isn’t signed prior to discharge?
  • How do we count midnights under the Two-Midnight Rule?
  • What determines if a patient improved faster than expected?
  • What’s the right status for patients who are transferred to another hospital?

Why attend live:

  • Get direct, actionable insight from Dr. Hirsch
  • Hear answers to real-world questions submitted by you and your peers
  • Gain clarity on complex or conflicting Medicare regulations
  • Strengthen compliance confidence across your organization
